The coolant bypass valve failed in my car causing “engine maintenance required” message but no CEL code. Took it to the dealership where they determined failed component and replaced it. The car only had about 71,000 miles and with a engine cooling system failure it could potentially cause further damage.

The alert for the Bypass Coolant Valve came on and cost $800 to replace. As this is a common issue across multiple Toyota models, this should be a recall.
My car has warning light of the engine maintenance required and I had to change my electrical water pump when I first got the car and the dealership doesn’t cover the issues
Coolant bypass valve failed
Engine coolant bypass valve
At around 36,500 miles, my Toyota Corolla began experiencing issues with the coolant bypass valve, leading to engine overheating. This malfunction has significantly impacted my ability to drive safely, as the vehicle displays a notification every five seconds, obstructing my view of the digital speedometer and making it difficult to accurately monitor my speed. The issue was not indicated by a check engine light but a persistent "Engine Maintenance Required" message. This defect poses a serious safety risk, and there's a potential class-action lawsuit in progress regarding this very issue, suggesting Toyota might have known about the defect but failed to disclose it. The faulty component is not available for inspection upon request. As more people began to experience similar circumstances, it could lead to fatalities. Other participants to the forums says the issues start when their covered warranty expires. Within these forums there's a inconstancy of service centers honoring fixes, with no cost, knowing that there is an issue. I took the car to both a third-party mechanic and an authorized dealership, and both confirmed the problem. I was quoted $732.85 for the parts and labor within my area. I also called Toyota Global which I was told "a low mileage car shouldn't be having this issue", however, there are countless of forums saying otherwise. **Toyota Models Affected** 2019 Toyota RAV4 2020 Toyota RAV4 2021 Toyota RAV4 2022 Toyota RAV4 2023 Toyota RAV4 2019 Toyota Corolla 2020 Toyota Corolla 2021 Toyota Corolla 2022 Toyota Corolla 2023 Toyota Corolla [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I am up to date with all my maintenance but at 67k miles I had a message stating “Engine Maintenance Required” message on my dashboard. I took it to the dealership and they identified the cooler bypass valve needed to be replace, apparently this is a common issue and has not been addressed by Toyota. Plus it’s difficult to find the part that needs to be replaced. There was no check engine light, and everytime I turned on the AC the engine maintenance required message would pop back up. If this is a known issue Toyota needs to make this issue public and parts available.
I got a “Engine Maintenance Required” warning message. I check with the dealer, the dealer inspected and told me about a faulty coolant bypass valve which the dealership told us a common problem for Toyota RAV4 and Corolla. The dealer did a diagnostic and found that engine coolant bypass valve circuit short to battery - (P268115). They asked me to order the part. A faulty coolant bypass valve risked my vehicle of a failure of the cooling system and so the engine. I had to pay $113.40 for the diagnostic and $331.75 for repair. Since it is a common problem, the manufacturer has to recall and replace the faulty part and pay the cost of the part and labor for replacing the faulty part.
Coolant bypass valve is faulty and a lot of people have had this issue. Toyota is well aware of the faulty part and it affects many models and years of cars. They want to charge 800 bucks for an easy fix. It is robbery and could be a big safety hazard if it causes engine to stall while driving
All of sudden the Engine Maintenance Required sign popped up on the screen during when I was driving. The sign popped up every time I turn on the car. I took the car to Toyota service immediately and diagnostic showed it was Engine coolant bypass valve circuit short to battery or open.
* What failed was engine coolant bypass valve. * Safety was at risk as the failure can lead to engine overheating over time. * it has been reproduced by countless others after their vehicle hits 30k to 70k. *there was a message on the dash about “engine issues and to take to dealer”
Engine Coolant Bypass Valve faulty. Charged $176.95 for the dealer to diagnose what is already known issue. The dealer wanted $663 to replace the part. Toyota knows about this issue yet acts like they had to perform $176 diagnose. The car never blew any codes CIL and they say that this particular part doesnt cause a code but had to use a " special" diagnose tool.
My service engine came on took to dealership they said my coolant bypass valve no good and iam always have to change out my brake pads on the front
Engine coolant bypass valve circuit short to battery or open - code P268115 Engine maintenance alert light appeared after (a day after, and then would not be on, and sometimes turn on, erratic maintenance message) I brought car in for scheduled engine maintenance per Toyota. The Toyota technician advised me to immediately take care of it but does not have the part in stock. This is the Toyota Dealer service in Manhattan Beach, CA.
Engine maintenance came on, took it to dealership and was told the diagnostic test showed coolant bypass valve. Apparently this is a recurring issue and if not taking care of, it could cause major problems. I was told the part is $200 plus and labor is $500 plus. This should be a recall issue and fixed free of charge by toyota. In doing a google search, several complaints are listed regarding this issue. The gentleman at the dealership where I took my car stated he has done several vehicles recently with this issue. I don't think use as a customer should have to pay for this known issue by toyota. I'm also still waiting to get the recall fixed on my mother's toyota rav4 recall which I received notification on back in early 2023. Their excuse is not parts available. So in the mean time, if the vehicle catches fire, they say oh well. I am over toyota getting away with this.
4 years after production with approx 44k miles the car began displaying the message “engine maintained required visit dealer” after investigating discovered coolant valve was the issue. Problem seems to be a common occurrence with the model car for other owners.
The vehicle began to go up and down in revolutions per minute (RPM) while at a traffic light or stop sign.
Coolant bypass valve failed prior to car driving 50,000, confirmed by dealership. Failure can cause electrical issues. Car indicated engine maintenance required
I was at a red light. When the light turned green and I pressed the accelerator the car wouldn’t move. The check engine, charging system malfunction and electronic power steering system warning light appeared on dash. Car locked up. I moved car into neutral and then drive and car was able to move. Took it to dealer next day. Cars almost ran into the back of me! I had just turned on the street from I-85! So far it hasn’t been reproduced at dealer.
Motor mounts failed on a 2019 Toyota Corolla. Replaced for an exorbitant amount of money. Never had this happen on any of my cars. Engine was rocking back and forth when acceleration and when I stopped. This could have damaged other components in the car resulting in my safety.
The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while driving at 60-65 MPH, the vehicle shut off and lost electrical power. All the instrument panel warning lights including the lane departure assistance warning light illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact then refilled gas in the vehicle with assistance and was able to restart the vehicle. However, the failure reoccurred while driving and the vehicle failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to his residence. The contact stated while at a complete stop, another vehicle driving at 45 MPH crashed into the rear end of his vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belts failed to engage. The contact sustained soreness and bruises on the upper and lower back and on the right arm and right shoulder. The passenger occupying the front passenger seat sustained head and neck injuries from slamming their face on the dashboard. The passenger occupying the rear passenger seat sustained whiplash, and neck and back injuries. The contact was able to drive to a hospital where the two passengers and himself received medical assistance. A police report was filed. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure.

Unknown engine runs really poor at idle I was ac is and is really loud transmission jerks and spark plugs replaced
Fuel is not filling up all the way. Fuel has once splashed out when stopped automatically. Used to have around 445 miles per tank, but now around 395. It had started around 59000 miles. I have had the dealership inspect and see if their were engine codes but there weren’t any. The time and care shouldn’t stop just because the check engine light isn't on as it may be a safety or mechanical issue in the future. I would like my car to be looked into as it may be in line with the fuel pump issues on the 2018 Camry, a family member owned one that was recalled for a fuel pump replacement so maybe a Corolla wouldn’t be to uncommon as well to have a know problem from the same company. I present with the utmost respect and hope I can get assistance and guidance on this minor issue as of now. Thank you for taking the time to read. Best Regards, A Toyota Corolla Hatchback Owner.

On march 2, 2019 I purchased a brand new 2019 toyota hatchback from toyota of richardson. After only owning the car for 3 weeks I received a notice from my vehicle's alert system that there was a safety recall on it. I was never told this by the auto dealer or by toyota. The recall was due to an error with the manufacturing of the vehicle. In researching this, I found that in december of 2018 this recall was publicized on the world wide web and with the federal safety agency. The torque converters is defective and could cause a crash when the car has rapid acceleration. The vehicle could suddenly lose power while driving. My daughter, who is the co-owner of this vehicle, is the primary driver. She has 4 children, in which one is handicapped. She and her children has been at risk when driving and/or riding in this vehicle since the purchase date. So, for 3 weeks my family was at risk of having an auto accident due to a manufacturer's default in which a recall was issued 3 month prior to the purchase of this vehicle! Yet the dealer did not take the time to fix this problem prior to our purchase. This is ridiculous!!
Tl* the contact called on behalf of her niece who owns a 2019 toyota corolla. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning.

The approximate failure mileage was 9,179.
